Reflection on Findings

    Throughout the process of constructing my finding paragraph , I focused on the many interesting and eye-opening discoveries I learned throughout the whole project. When creating these three paragraphs I realized that I obtained my goal of being able to respond to all my essential questions. I contained many reliable sources that not only supported the answers to my questions, but also stimulated me to continue on with my topic and connect with it. In my opinion, the most important facts I learned were how many teens listen to Hip-hop/rap music daily in the year 2005; in addition to that, the website also stated that those statistics have not changed dramatically over the past few years. I thought it was also intriguing to  learn how Hip-hop could be used as a positive tool in schools.In fact, it could actually improve academic performances and the schools. It was surprising to learn just how much Hip-hop could affect the lives of teens all together. Even if it contained many negative influences, it also generated many positives that I never thought would be possible. For example, it has been proven that rap music does not influence people to act out, instead it helps them cope with their issues. A question I still ponder about is how does Hip-hop affect teenage relationships? I think this would be very fascinating to research on because of the fact that Hip-hop plays a tremendous role in the lives of some teens. I feel like I have learned many stimulating facts that open my eyes to what Hip-hop really means to some teens in the world. It helped me understand why it has influenced a great number of teens. It also provided some aid to understand Hip-hop outside of my experience. I am thankful for this topic because it will make people who look poorly down on Hip-hop reconsider their thoughts and feelings towards it. Formulating my Finding Paragraphs was the simplest section of the whole blog.
